Law Talking Guy
- Copyright
- In this section, I discuss some of the areas of copyright law touching on the web.
- Miscellaneous
- Stuff
- Constitutional Law
- I am a big believer in both personal autonomy and the welfare state. Go figure.
- Contracting and IT
- In this article and its sub-sections, I hope to set out some thoughts on contracting law for IT hopefully for the lay reader. The discussion should touch on stuff useful for any agreement but I will use information technology as the context where context is useful. The classic disclaimer applies. This will not be written as legal advice for you or is to be taken as legal advice for you. Hopefully it will be a primer on the principles, the elements of a contract, which will be of use to a few people I know and others like them needing a bit of a heads up on the general vocabulary before a piece of paper is pushed across a table to the tune of that old song "please sign here".
If you have any questions or comments, please post them here.
For other reading on contracts and IT, please check out these other sites:
- The Government of Canada's blurb on the basics of e-commerce contracting.
- Personal Information Protection
- One area of law that interests me is the emerging area of personal information protection or data privacy. I have written a few things on this and read some others. Have a look in here.
